Curcumin Could Lower The Risk Of Heart Disease

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the western world. So unsurprisingly, researchers have studied it for many decades to understand what causes it.

Heart disease is incredibly complicated and has various contributing factors, but curcumin may help reverse many of the issues that can lead to it.

The major benefit of curcumin when it comes to heart disease is improving the function of the endothelium, which is the lining of your blood vessels [1].

It’s well known that blood vessel dysfunction is a major driver of heart disease. If your blood vessels can’t regulate blood pressure or develop imperfections in the inside lining, it can lead to blood clotting and various other problems including heart attack.

Several studies suggest that curcumin leads to improvements in endothelial function [2]. One study found it’s as effective as exercise, while another shows that it works as well as the drug Atorvastatin. Curcumin also inhibits acute vascular inflammation [3] which plays a major role in heart disease.

One study randomly assigned 121 people, who were undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, either a placebo or 4 grams of curcumin per day, a few days before and after the surgery. The curcumin group had a 65% decreased risk of experiencing a heart attack in the hospital.
